Was out thrifting today, before the new year, and found two bags. My wife saw the words Henri Bendel New York and spent $6 without really looking, and I saw the label Bag by... Josef and basically did the same for $3.
The Henri Bendel tote looks good, stitching, etc, but it is not double stitched, and the leather tag is weird (as in I can't find it on any other bags).
The Bag by Josef tag looks right from searching, but this bag is made out of plastic wrap made into rope. Strange. Anyone help?

Any reference to your claim of fabulousness? I can't find a super similar bag in searching. Thanks

I don't recall that exact bag, but the brown and white stripe was one of their themes.

I'm not sure if this is even the right place to start, but I'm trying to do a bit of detective work. My wife and I were watching TV last night and (enormously and wildly out of character) exclaimed that a particular bag someone was wearing was perfect. She's got a January birthday coming up soon (on the heels of a stressful Christmas) so I am trying to hunt this down and get it.

I've captured a few images from the episode, cropped them, and enhanced them, so there might be a fighting chance of finding this.

Any thoughts, clues, or suggestions?

Hey, yall -

Found this bag that I would like some assistance identifying the collection/style/anything really. It's described as an Alexander Wang Attica, but I'm not sure. I haven't seen an AW like this, but I'm also no purse wiz. Any assistance would be appreciated

I am brand new to the world of Hermès... I recently purchased these two bags and two wallets at an auction from an estate sale near my hometown. I am assuming at this point that they are all fake.. however, the blue bag and both wallets are all old, ( they look and smell old, at least )..and all leather inside and out. I’ve done a little research online regarding authentic labeling, finding no information on anything Hermès that used the gold plates as labels. BUT I’m wondering when fake Hermès started being produced, and if these are fake, why anyone would have bothered with an extra step of using the gold plate if that was a dead give away that it wasn’t authentic? I hope that makes sense, and I appreciate your patience with me as I continue to research and learn!

Welcome to TPF! You need to post on the Hermes authentication thread. If you look on the first post on that thread you’ll see the format needed.

Hi- thank you so much for your reply-

I looked on that thread first but did not feel I qualified to post there as:

1- This auction is closed/ended
2- I have no pictures from the auction
3- At this point I’m not sure authentication is possible because I have so little information to go on.

If I am mistaken or need to do something more, please let me know. Thank You.
